Whew!

October 30, 2011

Well, that wasn’t too complicated. I’m pretty happy with the new digs, but if you have any suggestions I’m all ears. You may see a few things change and some odd posts here and there to help me make changes across the web-o-sphere. For example, I have to insert this Technorati code to verify my [...]

Sugared Ellipses is changing…

October 17, 2011

Hello all! It’s funny how inspiration can strike. I really wasn’t looking to change my domain name, but suddenly the electricity to the proverbial light-bulb above my head was powered on.

Special Announcement! Penzeys Fall Spices Giveaway!

Last week when I was making the tiramisu cake when I lost my beaters. You know, the beaters for my hand mixer. I spent close to half an hour searching the entire kitchen, resisting the urge to look through the rest of the house for them. Don’t ask me why I was compelled to search [...]
